As social media takes firmer hold of marketers’ attention and budgets, favored social channels, their primary uses and their individual strengths are becoming more evident, according to a new study by BtoB.

“Emerging Trends in B-to-B Social Marketing: Insights From the Field,” released today, found that 93% of all b2b marketers are engaged to some extent in social media marketing, with the most-used channel, LinkedIn, employed by 72% of survey respondents. Facebook (71%) and Twitter (67%) are nearly as popular, and together these three form the core of most b2b marketers’ social media programs.
